The rating is for the whole series, not any book in particular. I made a whole series of videos about the bad messages in these books (and one on the good parts). You can check em out here.

Best of the series and a great way to end it (for me). The 10th book had everything we hoped for, all the main characters plus a couple of extras doing their thing. The story followed a familiar path with strategy, heroics and joyful ending. I like the fact that the girls got heavily involved again even if it was a tad forced.

I am not super interested in the short story collection that follows this and the last book has not been well received so I will skip that. Fantastic series well worth reading.
